Introduction
Welcome! PJS Trading is a colonial general store of the 18th Century era. We were established in 2011. PJS stands for Paul, Jenn, and Sons. As a family-owned, small business, our mission is to sufficiently equip our customers with high-quality items for a low price. That was our mission at the beginning and is still our mission to this day.
Growing
You may be wondering how we got into this. Well our family, the Rich Family, joined the Wilmington Minutemen Company in Wilmington, MA. We had issues trying to get our kids interested in living history but could not find what to do with our small children when we were at our events. We found there was an issue in the community and that was people in the Northeast did not have toys for the little ones to play with. With some research, we found a whole lot of toys for children and adults alike. You're never too old for a good old game. We solved our issue one toy at a time and are still looking for more toys and games from the historical past.
Future.
We did not stop there. We started to have shaker boxes, exploration knives, musket cleaning tools, candy, candles, tankards, bowls, sewing notions, sundials, and fire starters. You name it, we have it or at least will have it. You have most likely seen us at one of many events that we go to. We have grown through the years and will continue too. You, the customer, have gotten us where we are today, so we thank you. Please feel free to check out our site. If you have ideas or suggestions, please feel free to let us know. Thank you.
